At the age of 18, I was recruited by the NHS as a trainee electrical and electronics engineer. I soon realised that I and many like me had been recruited to replace their ageing senior engineers, who had largely come from the Navy and understood steam boilers, diesel generators, medical gases, pumps, drains, refrigeration and all manner of mechanical and electrical kit. Fortunately I found this stuff more interesting than mere electrical engineering, and stuck with it for 42 years!
